Shrouded Lands

Shrouded Lands is a turn-based RPG. Lead The Witch, Exorcist, and Demonologist in a journey across swamps, forests, mountains and dungeons. In challenging turn-based combat, you will face demons, their disciples, possessed, and ancient creatures - each with unique skills and behaviours. Understanding your enemy is the key to victory - anticipate their plans, predict their strongest attacks, and exploit their moments of vulnerability.

A dark adventure story where three mystics are leaving Last Shelter of dying humanity and entering demon-held lands, seized over centuries of war. Different goals, but same path, a path that may reveal hope for the rise of humanity.

Combat

Round structure. Combat rounds have two phases: Planning and Resolution. During Planning, each unit plans an action; during Resolution, those actions unfold - and the battlefield becomes alive with screeching blades, blood and fear.

Understanding the situation. Knowing your enemies’ next move is key to effective fighting. Force them to plan before you, so you catch a glimpse of your enemies’ intent. Or study them to know their future moves - each enemy type follows its own logic, based on the flow of combat.

Torments. Units can enter one of three Torment states - Dread, Fury, or Madness - each limiting available planning actions. Use special actions to exert mental influence on your enemies to disrupt their strategies, and beware of such influence affecting the mystics.

Possession. You will face possessed enemies, and slaying them is not the only option - you can exorcise them to free their souls and earn their gratitude. But beware: your mystics may also become possessed under the influence of powerful demons or their disciples.

Characters & Builds

Armor. Although you control only three characters, the Armor-Skill system allows for diverse builds and flexible strategies. Each character can equip different armor, which defines their appearance and available skills - but their core stats are not affected by changing armor.

Skill upgrade. Skills upgrades are rare, but they have a significant impact. By choosing specific upgrades, you shape your build: higher damage output or additional wound application? Improved defense or energy recovery? Additional bleeding to an enemy or longer bleeding duration? Wise upgrading will make your battle tactics more efficient.

Journey

Locations. Your journey will unfold in a sequence of locations - swamps, forests, mountains, and dungeons, where you will encounter a variety of enemies.

Path. You will choose your path under harsh conditions: growing fatigue, limited supplies for recovery, enemies all around - and the unknown ahead.

Fatigue and rest. Party fatigue grows with every step, weakening your mystics in combat. Search for supplies and set up camps to reduce fatigue, heal, and recover.
